224 Eggs and Ashes
The first gold of dawn
The long day
stretched into night
and time crept onward
towards the new day.
With the first gold of dawn
came a resurrection,
a new hope that grew
with the rising sun,
and went out to a waiting world.
Jean Murdoch
God has made laughter for us
Christ is risen; He is risen indeed. Alleluia!
Risen in quiet and mysterious darkness
before the chorus of the dawn.
Alleluia, Christ is risen;
HE IS RISEN INDEED.
Risen with glory and grace in reserve,
and authority beyond measure.
Alleluia, Christ is risen;
HE IS RISEN INDEED.
Risen to prove that violence is no solution;
to offer us peace and life in all its fullness.
Alleluia, Christ is risen;
HE IS RISEN INDEED.
For God has taken into his own flesh
the sin of the world.
The last laugh is God’s laugh;
God has the last laugh:
For freedom comes beyond the cross,
for peace comes beyond the violence,
